Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to magnetic resonance thermometry. In one embodiment, a method includes acquiring undersampled magnetic resonance data associated with an area of interest of a subject receiving focused ultrasound treatment, and reconstructing images corresponding to the area of interest based on the acquired magnetic resonance data, where the reconstructing uses Kalman filtering.
